The Central Coast Oyster Festival is ready to begin!

At noon on Saturday June 16th the First Central Coast Oyster Festival will be held at our very own Morro Bay Golf Course in Morro Bay State Park. The event will feature a 10 chef oyster competition, multiple local food and wine vendors, Tap It Brewery, and the Morro Bay Oyster Company. In the true spirit of the Central Coast the event will be a Zero Waste event so that all wastes are sorted and the landfill impacts are minimized or eliminated. All of the proceeds go to Options Family Services which is a local non-profit here in San Luis Obispo County is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 1991 to
provide quality mental health, family preservation, life skills and
domestic violence interventions to at-risk rural, urban and homeless
children, adolescents, individuals and families

All of this held on the Morro Bay Golf Course near the beach of the beautiful Estero Bay of the Central Coast featuring the Morro Rock. The event starts at noon and will roll on until 8 pm so get your tickets or buy them at the gate and come see Walk Off the Earth (click on the right to see and hear their cover of Gotye's Somebody that I Used to Know).

Below are some photos of the site being set up. Enjoy!

The Event site next to the 13th hole. The course will remain open and the 14th hole will play as a par 3 rather than it's traditional par 5 design. This will allow golfers a preview of the sights and sounds of the event that are available to them after their round. Come out and join us!

Another Day in Paradise!

It doesn't get much better than the view from the 6th hole at Morro Bay Golf Course. The "Big Blue" can be seen from all 18 holes of the course and this photo captures the essence pretty well, but by no means does it do the view justice.
